Dems open congress with a prayer that ends “amen and awoman.” Amen is a Latin word that means “truly” or “so be it.” Awoman is a nonsense word that means nothing. Dems find a way to make everything stupid and nonsensical. Utter clowns, all of them.
I’m now being corrected that “amen” originated in Hebrew and then passed through Greek and Latin into English usage. I need to brush up on my etymology but the point is that the word is not gendered and this PC change is incoherent and absurd.
Can anyone interpret the first part of this? He says "We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God"... and who? It sounds like he says "Brahma," as in the Hindu god, but I can't be sure.
Ok so I did hear it correctly. He prays to “Brahma,” the Hindu god. Sadly he did not include the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda, nor the Aztec sun god Huitzilopochtli, so this prayer was racist and xenophobic.

Name a song where the cover is better than the original. I nominate "Hallelujah" (Buckley > Cohen) and "Me and Bobby McGee" (Joplin > Kristofferson).
This one is a little more obscure but this cover of John Prine is better than the original in my opinion. And I usually tend to prefer the Prine originals over the covers.
Another slightly more obscure nominee: Cowboy Junkies version of "Powderfinger" over the Neil Young original
At some point it was decided that we are now supposed to tip everyone everywhere. I was not consulted about this change and do not approve.
I’m a generous tipper to waiters, pizza delivery people, Uber and cab drivers, and hotel staff. But I’m not sure why I’m supposed to tip someone for running a cash register or pouring me a coffee.
Waiters, bar tenders, drivers, etc, can do a poor or excellent job, and you can gauge your tip accordingly. But there is no poor or excellent way to fill a cup with coffee and hand it to me, or punch something into a cash register. What am I rewarding you for exactly?
It blows my mind every time a conservative voices an opinion that’s deeply unpopular with their audience and then gets accused of being a “shill” and a “sell out” for it. Whether they’re right or wrong, taking an unpopular stance is the exact opposite of shilling and selling out.
Of course it’s different if someone pulls a Lincoln Project and becomes a full time promoter of leftism. That’s selling out because they’ve traded one audience for (they hope) a bigger one.
But a conservative who veers from the right wing consensus on one particular issue, and takes enormous blowback for it from his own audience, is really bad at selling out if that’s his game. Most likely, he’s just being honest. You should respect that even if you disagree.
You can either be on this guy’s side or on the side of the tyrants who rule us. I know which side I choose.
What I love about this video is that it isn’t performance. He isn’t an activist. He isn’t strutting for the cameras or shouting into a microphone. He’s just a business owner trying to survive. Extremely compelling.
If you live anywhere within 100 miles of this place, please go and give him your business. He's getting fined 1000 dollars a day. He needs to sell a lot of food to make up for it.
It's crazy that we let people ride bicycles down the street. Like I know you want to exercise, so do I, but I'm not going to start doing pushups in the middle of the highway. Streets are for cars. Take your bike to the park.
It blows my mind every time I'm in a line of cars all trying to navigate around some weirdo on his bike. How is this legal?
And the thing is, if I ever accidentally hit one of these morons, I'll be facing jail time even though they were the one playing with their toy in the street
This is what trans indoctrination of children looks like, from HBO's new documentary promoting and celebrating child abuse. The boy here is 4 years old. His parents decided that he is "gender expansive." Later they decide he's a girl. #BoycottHBO
A couple of years later, the parents get divorced and decide that never mind he actually is a boy. The doc is horrifying and evil but it does unintentionally show that kids become "trans" because their parents are confused, miserable, and projecting issues onto their children.
Four kids featured in the doc. Two are children of divorce, one is the daughter ("son") of a lesbian with no dad in the picture. The other has married parents who are clearly and unashamedly pushing him ("her") into it for attention from the media.
